The visit comes in response to an invitation from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will host a working lunch for the Crown Prince on April 8.
Sheikh Hamdan will be accompanied by several ministers, senior government officials, and a high-level business delegation.
"The visit of the Crown Prince will further solidify the India-UAE Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) and strengthen our multifaceted ties with Dubai," the MEA stated.
Sheikh Hamdan is also scheduled to visit Mumbai, where he will engage with prominent business leaders. These interactions aim to enhance economic and commercial cooperation across both traditional and emerging sectors.
Dubai has historically played a pivotal role in India's commercial, cultural, and people-to-people ties with the UAE. A majority of the approximately 4.3 million-strong Indian diaspora in the UAE resides and works in Dubai.
